Abstract
A game is provided including cards and puzzle components. The cards may include collection cards, assembly cards, and action-altering cards that may affect assembly or manipulation of the puzzle components. The players work together to complete assembly of the puzzle or another joint task, such as matching of the cards. Consequently, the players are encouraged to cooperate as a team towards a common goal. The game also provides participants with an opportunity to practice their memorization, matching, and assembly skills.
